It may be a mistake, but...
DH is on the excepted list! That means he'll be working if there is a government shutdown and he will eventually get paid.
Apparently whoever made up the list of essential/non-essential employees was not up to date on DH's job change a month ago -- he's the only one in his branch to be excepted but everyone on his old project is excepted. Obviously they think he still works in his old job. Of course they could still furlough him at any time, but I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth.
Re: It may be a mistake, but...
That's gotta be a relief, eh? Here's to a slow bureaucracy-- it's like one of those "Community Chest/Bank Error in your favour" cards from Monopoly.
Take what you can get!
I hope those dopes just get their act together and pass a budget.
The furloughed employees did get paid after the last shutdown but there is no guarantee that it would happen this time.
Exactly. It is a very, very different political environment than last time around. I don't know anyone who believes non-essentials will be paid if a shutdown happens. I'm glad YH was deemed essential! If we're really lucky, everything will be resolved by Monday. ;-)
